Description

One of the greatest Americans ever to have lived. Known as the father of America. It is George Washington praying to God for help during Valley Forge.

-History Lesson-
Taken from [link]

Valley Forge was the site of a camp of the American's in the winter of 1777–1778 in the Revolutionary War. This was a time of great suffering for George Washington and his army—but also a time of retraining and rejuvenation.

The army that entered camp on December 19, 1777 was reeling from defeats at Brandywine and Germantown. The British had occupied the revolutionary capital of Philadelphia, about 20 miles away. The American army was weak, poorly supplied, and ill. An estimated 2,500 men (out of 10,000) would die over the winter.

My own 2 cents.
It appears God helped Washington and his men to survive, though 2,500 men died. It shows how the American spirit can endure. We should thank God for the miracles that helped shape the country to what it is today. We should also thank the men and women who have broken their necks for the freedom we brush so lightly, the women and men who have died for the freedom of speech, either in America or anywhere in the world.

Although, it may seem that our country isn't as poetic as it sounds through history, we should still comprehend that these things did happen. One day, down the line, the freedoms we love will be gone. The Bible describes this as a beast and it's image. Which stand for the two unknown forces, they will team up and together rid the world of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Together my brothers and sisters we will survive. Together we will see of LORD coming to down to take us home. God be with you.

AMEN
